So that the implementation of voting in the regional elections can run safely, orderly and comfortably.

This was conveyed by Governor Ridwan at the Coordination Meeting on Readiness for the Implementation of the 2024 Simultaneous Regional Elections in the Papua Region in 2024, in Jayapura City, Wednesday (29/5/2024).
